Loveable characters - sweet story
The Great Show is a well told, tender hearted story. Even with its predictable plot, it was told realistically and with sincerity. The very talented Song Seung Heon brought Wi De Han to life in a charming, realistic, believable way. We’re given enough backstory to understand how WDH’s youth shaped him in the present day. He was on his way back to the National Assembly but had to navigate the shock of a lifetime to get there. WDH’s journey showed how difficult it is to maintain integrity in the cutthroat world of politics.
He’s probably one of the most imperfect yet transparent guys you can’t help but like. He just couldn’t get a break on his road to the NA. Yes he had a temper. Yes he said things he’d later regret. Yes he made decisions that could cost him that goal. But he humbly owned his mistakes and that set him apart from every other politician.
I loved the contract between Da Jung and WDH as well as the household constitution.
“A happy household isn’t made by perfect people, but it’s made when people with weaknesses try to fill in for each other’s weaknesses. We all have weaknesses, but in order to become a perfect family we should try hard together.”
Da Jung’s siblings were charming including Tak. Soo Hyun was an excellent friend/confident/support to De Han, Da Jung and the children (well played by Lee Sun Bin). All the supporting characters added to the story. I was pulled into the market community so much, at times, I found the student of business in me thinking of ways to help if I were there.
I would agree it’s a predictable drama, but TGS’s evolution still had the element of surprise when most of those predictable moments did happen. I felt the story was well paced. Each episode was eventful and I didn’t feel it dragged anywhere too long.
I liked this story so much that tolerated the ads on TUBI to watch it. I recommend The Great Show to anybody looking for a light but meaningful slice of life story with lots of heart.
